PLOT IThe point, without going into too much detail, is that yes, of course, on an immediate and superficial level, Digger is a film that presents itself as a grotesque, stupid and frightening satire (as someone in the film puts it) of a demented and egomaniacal economic and political power that is leading the world toward catastrophe, through a process that, for Iñárritu, and perhaps not only for him, is by now irreversible; but it is also—and above all—a film about the dominant narrative surrounding this catastrophe. And, in its behind-the-scenes implications, it suggests that even satire, this satire, could ultimately be used as a weapon of mass distraction, allowing those at the bottom of society to vent their baser instincts, while, when all is said and done, those at the top remain exactly where they are and do what has been said and done since the time of Tomasi di Lampedusa, and even before: let everything change, and so on and so forth. Beneath its highly visionary and hyperbolic surface—very entertaining, it must be said—Digger is an extremely bleak film. It portrays not only the climate catastrophe, but also the catastrophe of a world that has become a victim of narratives and perceptions, and that, even when confronted with the curtain being drawn back, refuses to see and understand what lies behind it, as though the Wizard of Oz were controlling us.
